I’ve noticed a few issues with the Properties:Text field in Rhino 8 (8.13.24317.13002, 2024-11-12).
What happens is that sometimes, while typing in the field - depending on the key press (?) -, the cursor jumps randomly out of the field and into to general Command field.
This should be relatively easy to replicate. I’ve currently set the font to SLF-RHN Architect in case that matters.
Then less frequently but related the currently typed text in the Rhino viewport stays selected (i.e. yellow), but can’t be deselected and then vanishes (puff!), which is super weird. It seems to get auto-deleted. This is more rare.
I guess everything is relative. I spent quite a bit of time on this but only had two instances of the command dialog getting focus.
On the list as RH-85059 Text: Focus Moves From Properties To Command

Here, I managed to capture the yellow, unresponsive text right after I started typing a word beginning with “t” and the cursor jumped out of the text field and into the Command field.
It took some time before it mysteriously vanished. It might be related to creating a new text, as the video demonstrates.
